Imagine the Possibilities: Less Contemplating, More Acting

We all begin our careers eager to change the world, ready to bring all the amazing things we have to offer. And then we are hit with quality issues, blown budgets, and missed deadlines and realize this isn’t going like we imagined. Plus, we are ‘led’ by a management that has instituted a gazillion rules designed to reduce our screw-ups. Leaders are afraid we will make bad choices and don’t trust us. The mojo is sucked right out of the room. Leaders should be stoking the fires of creativity, imagination, energy, invention and integration, igniting the fire within each member of the team to come to work excited to offer their best. Where did we go wrong? Maybe you’ve forgotten what joy looks like. Steve chats with the CEO of Menlo Innovations, winner of the When Work Works ward for 11 straight years.
